Zaky Mallah on Q&A

icyfroth — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 05:13:46 GMT

I'm surprised there's no thread about this. Maybe I just haven't seen it.

Q&A episode would be real comedy if it wasn’t so tragic

Nobody at the ABC seemed particularly worried that Mallah had spent time in prison due to a conviction for threatening the lives of ASIO officers.

On the contrary, the ABC fawned over Mallah as though he was a particularly sensitive and needy celebrity.

The former Goulburn prison resident was collected by an ABC-supplied minibus in Western Sydney prior to Monday’s broadcast.

As many as five senior ABC producers helped Mallah prepare for the show.

Host Tony Jones even whipped up a brief Mallah biography to accompany the young man’s appearance. And then the minibus dropped Mallah back home, all at taxpayer expense.

So let me get this straight.

The ABC give Mallah, convicted of death threats agains ASIO officers and various firearm offences, 8 minutes of air time during which he recommends 2 senior female journalists should be gang-banged.

Has the ABC lost the plot?

When an Islamic extremist who has called for female journalists to be “gang-banged” on live television and threatened to murder senior security officials wants to have his say on Q&A, the ABC not only welcomes him into the audience — for at least the third time, by the way — but they do everything possible to make his visit as amiable as possible.

He's just as erratic and threatening as Man Monis, and look what happened there. The ABC see fit to give him air time? What the F?

Why is the sisterhood not baying for his blood over his gang-banging comments?

Whoever wrote that was not watching the same Q&A that I saw.

He asked his prepared question and got a provocative answer. I doubt he got 8 minutes of air time, unless you count the others answers also. I did not hear any threats, mention of female journalists, or gang banging by anyone on the program that night.

Which "sisterhood" are you referring to, Icy? Is it a "sisterhood" to which you belong?

The Mumbrella story referred to in Tim Blair's (News) column including the full transcript of the particular Mallah section of Q&A.

.http://mumbrella.com.au/the-abc-versus-news-corp-and-abbott-this-farce-is-about-politics-not-terrorism-302089.

Mallah did not call for Muslims to go and fight in Syria. And he certainly didn’t repeat the sentiments of his horrible tweets he’s previously made about News Corp columnists.

The sisterhood that screams "misogynist" over something like a wink from the PM when a senior sex worker calls in on a listener's line. Or when the the PM refers to "houswives doing their ironing".
Yet think it's quite OK for someone like Mallah to get TV time after his foul tweets earlier this year calling 2 senior female journos "whores" and that they should be gang-raped

Is it a "sisterhood" to which you belong?

I don't belong to any sisterhood thank you. I'm a free agent

Mallah fitted in quite well with the one who said Gillard should have her throat slit and the one who said she should be kicked to death and you're right, none of them should have been on QandA after their comments encouraging violence against women.

But the kidnap and death threats against Government officials by Mallah, and the large **bleep**nal of fireams he was holding at the time is a mere bagatelle?

Not to mention his association with another radical muslim group - Jabhat al-Nusra, sympathetic to Al Quaeda?

He's another Man Monis waiting to happen IMO

What large **bleep**nal of firearms?

There is no similarity between him and Monis. He's half the age and Australian born for starters.

The facts are really quite different to what you are claiming.

He was met by an undercover ASIO officer posing as a journalist who offered him $5,000 to hold everyone at ASIO hostage, provide a video and hand it over to the journalist. This charge was thrown out due to entrapment law.

The '**bleep**nal' was one single gun he purchased after receiving death threats and the police and ASIO were aware he possessed the gun.

I don't support much if anything at all that he stands for, but I believe wholeheartedly that every single person deserves the truth.

At his trial Justice James Wood allowed the entrapment into evidence

Mallah then purchased a rifle and ammunition, prepared his will and made a video to be played after he died.

what did he say in that video?

You obviously missd this bit: none of them should have been on QandA after their comments encouraging violence against women

That doesn't sound to me like justifying any of them.

Who is justifying his right to be heard? All I said is he fitted in well with a couple of panel members, as they each have been known to speak of violence towards women. In case you missed it, I highlighted the bit you seem to have missed.

That's not detracting attention at all it's just pointing out the obvious. You can't lambast one person for their comments and demand they be answerable to them while letting off 2 other people who made remarks that were just as offensive. Common sense should prevail. All three of them made disgusting comments against women and therefore all three of them should be answerable for them.

They were all on the same episode of the same show. Why should we focus on the one questioner and not on the guests?

Ciobo's response to the question was no better than the question, imo. It seemed as if he was exercising his right to see how far he could push Mallah, hoping for a violent reaction.

No. Mallah asked the question and he got a honest answer to which he responded with insolence, and the ABC got exactly what they set the show up for, namely, controversy.
